air filter

hey, I was thinking about buying a p-flow or CAI or something like that when I thought what If i put one of those cone filters straight on my throttle body, but ym main concern is that there will not be enough air so it will over heat since there isnt really a grill or anything like other cars. Just wanted to know if anybody tried this and if so, idi it overheat. But then I also thought I got my radiator changed but not to a stck one but to soem "PERFORMANCE" radiator and with it no matter how much I push my car it doesn't ever reach half way on the temperature, it's always a bit mroe then 1/4 so i'm guessing it shoudl cool ti down enough, anyway your opinions would be appreciated!!

Re: air filter

It won't overheat, but the air you're sucking in will be warm/hot. So really it won't give you any performance. Why not just buy a K&N drop-in filter for the stock air box? That'd be a lot better than just a filter on the t-body and also better than the stock filter.
